Floating PV

Firstly; is the development of clean energy systems to achieve the zero emission target and also It is aimed to contribute to the energy production of Istanbul by means of the generation and storage of energy through photovoltaic panels.

Secondly; Open ground is considered as an opportunity to generate energy from the sun as there is no inconvenient or land constraint. Therefore, it is aimed to expand the potential application areas by developing floating PV technologies on inland waters, which are shown as open areas.

Thirdly; In order to protect the existing resources efficiently against water scarcity, it is aimed to reduce the evaporation of water resources in summer by covering some of the surface areas of the dam lakes with FPV. In this way, it is aimed to increase the biodiversity in the dam lakes and also to increase the urban resilience and to contribute to the adaptation of water resources to the effects of climate change.

Reducing the evaporation values on the surface of the dam lake, which is used as drinking water in the application environment, due to the temperature effects and wave-induced incompatibility losses of FPV is among the objectives of the project. It is also significant for the project to develop and verify predictive yield models, including the dynamic behavior of the exposed wave (wave height class) and wind loads.

The scope of the project is to develop innovative technologies for FPV's low production and construction costs, improving technical performance and increasing energy efficiency.

In addition, if solar energy is preferred, it is thought that the power plant that will generate electricity will directly feed the system that will consume it. In this case, there is a need to store the generated electricity and quite expensive solutions emerge.
